Show HN: San Francisco Compute – 512 H100s at <$2/hr for research and startups 682 by flaque | 162 comments on Hacker News. Hey folks! We're Alex and Evan, and we're working on putting together a 512 H100 compute cluster for startups and researchers to train large generative models on. - it runs at the lowest possible margins (<$2.00/hr per H100) - designed for bursty training runs, so you can take say 128 H100s for a week - you don’t need to commit to multiple years of compute or pay for a year upfront Big labs like OpenAI and Deepmind have big clusters that support this kind of bursty allocation for their researchers, but startups so far have had to get very small clusters on very long term contracts, wait months of lead time, and try to keep them busy all the time. Our goal is to make it about 10-20x cheaper to do an AI startup than it is right now. Stable Diffusion only costs about $100k to train -- in theory every YC company could get up to that scale. It's ju

Ask HN: Is the market bad, or am I having the worst luck job hunting? 603 by imadkhan | 890 comments on Hacker News. I got laid off at the start of the year, and ever since then, I've been applying constantly but have only gotten one interview. Before being laid off, I held a job as a front-end dev for the previous 5 and a half years. I've had my resume looked at by three different services (TopResume, Indeed, Levels.fyi) and am currently subscribed to Resume Worded, which scores my resume. Despite all these efforts, I keep receiving rejection emails. So, I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone else has had any similar experiences with applying for jobs.

Show HN: I spent 2 years building a personal finance simulator 473 by scubakid | 160 comments on Hacker News. Hey everyone! After another year of building as a solo dev on nights and weekends, I'm back with an update on this post: https://ift.tt/7ILbBva . TL;DR - ProjectionLab ( https://ift.tt/65HmBlh ) is a privacy-friendly personal finance planning tool where you can create financial plans that go beyond the standard online retirement calculators. And by popular request, it now supports self-hosting for Lifetime users! Something I'm grateful for is that our community here on HN is the difference between PL existing and not. There was actually a time early on when I was one day away from halting work on it. I posted here on a whim, and was shocked to receive some really constructive and energizing feedback that went on to power my indie dev journey over the past two and a half years. As a quick recap, the story started when I dove head-first down the financial independence

How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about. If you’re still using Evernote, probably a good time to stop.

Show HN: Hacker News user blogroll 536 by deathbypenguin | 127 comments on Hacker News. I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog here". https://ift.tt/g9kClJq
